Honda City Hatchback coming soon to Malaysia, teaser out

KUALA LUMPUR: After making its debut in the neighboring countries - Thailand and Indonesia, the Honda City Hatchback is all set to pave its way to the local market. And, it is official. Honda Malaysia released a teaser video of the hatch on its social media account earlier this morning. The clip previews the car in full with the caption “Move aside. Y? Because This. Is. It”. 

Dubbed as “Energetic Hatchback,” the City hatch exhibits an energetic and active vibe. It will replace the outgoing Jazz in the local region, whose production has recently ended after a long run and will rival against the likes of the Toyota Yaris.

While the automaker kept numb on the Honda City Hatchback specs, the teaser says a lot. It shows an e:HEV badge on the boot lid, which means the car will arrive in RS hybrid trim. So, just like the CIty sedan hybrid model, it will also move on electric power with a gasoline mill on board for charging the battery and to drive the wheels at higher speeds. However, we can also expect a non-hybrid model. 

If we talk about the design, the car looks almost similar to the sedan from the front as it features an identical grille, headlamps, bonnet, and bumper. However, the rear has a different story. The roofline is longer and merges with the roof spoiler located above the tailgate. We can also see a steep rear window, different tail lights, and a rear bumper.

Dimensionally, the hatchback is 208 mm shorter and 21 mm taller than the sedan but has the same width and wheelbase.

The teaser does not have any interior shot, but as per the models available in the neighbouring markets, we can expect it to be mostly the same as the sedan. A big infotainment system, multi-function steering wheel, automatic climate control, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto connectivity, keyless entry, and engine start, cruise control, Honda Connect telematics are likely to be there.
